The Gift Shops were the absolute *worst* part of my KSC visit.

There's the usual crap for the seven-year-olds (and they sell tons of
it, these folks aren't stupid), especially in the 'downstairs' area,
but I think the KSC "Gift Gantry" has a very nice selection of
space-related books and videos. Far superior to the local Waldenbooks
or Barnes & Noble. It is the only place in 10 years that I've seen
Jenkins' book actually in stock, for example. I was hoping they'd have
"Hypersonic" but they didn't, so I ordered it through Amazon.

Actually I was rather suprised to find a copy of the latest edition of
Jenkin's book in stock at my local Borders bookstore. Made it rather
convient and cheap to buy.
